QUOTES AND IMAGES: MEMOIRS OF COUNT GRAMMONT
MEMOIRS OF COUNT GRAMMONT
By Anthony Hamilton
With notes by Sir Walter Scott
All day poring over his books, and went
to bed soon
Ambition to pass for a wit, only
established her tiresome
An affectation of purity of manners
As all fools are who have good memories
Better memory for injuries than for
benefits
Better to know nothing at all, than to
know too much
Better to partake with another than to
have nothing at all
Busy without consequence
By a strange perversion of language,
styled, all men of honour
Despising everything which was not
like themselves
Devote himself to his studies, than to
the duties of matrimony
Duke would see things if he could
Embellish the truth, in order to
enhance the wonder
Entreating pardon, and at the same time
justifying her conduct
Envy each other those indulgences which
themselves refuse
Every thing that is necessary is
honourable in politics
Four dozen of patches, at least, and
ten ringlets of hair
Good attendants, but understood
cheating still better
Great earnestness passed for business
Grew so fat and plump that it was a
blessing to see her
Hardly possible for a woman to have
less wit, or more beauty
He had no sentiments but such as others
inspired him with
He talked eternally, without saying
anything
He as little feared the Marquis as he
loved him
His mistress given him by his priests
for penance
How I must hate you, if I did not love
you to distraction
Impenetrable stupidity (passed) for
secrecy
Impertinent compliments
Life, in his opinion, was too short to
read all sorts of books
Long habit of suffering himself to be
robbed by his domestics
Maxim of all jealous husbands
Never felt the pressure of indigence
Not disagreeable, but he had a serious
contemplative air
Not that he wanted capacity, but he was
too self-sufficient
Obstinate against all other advices
Offended that his good fortune raised
him no rivals
One amour is creditable to a lady
Possessed but little raillery, and
still less patience
Public is not so easily deceived as
some people imagine
Public grows familiar with everything
by habit
Reasons of state assume great
privileges
Resolved to renounce the church for the
salvation of my soul
She just said what she ought, and no
more
So weak as to transform your slave into
your tyrant
Terrible piece of furniture for the
country (educated girl)
The shortest follies are the best
There are men of real merit, or
pretenders to it
They can by no means bear the
inconstancy of their mistresses
Those who open a book merely to find
fault
Very willing to accept, but was tardy
in making returns
Wealth was necessary for the
conveniencies of a long life
What jealousy fears, and what it always
deserves
What a glory would it be to have a Cato
for a husband
Would have been criminal even in
chastity to spare (her husband)
